Answer
This information is available on two levels -
(i) direct public health investment in the Coleraine and Limavady areas specifically.
(ii) funding, on a capitation basis, invested in Trust wide areas and accessible to the local population in East Londonderry. This would include for example training, public health awareness campaigns and local projects.
Table: Summary of Public Health Investment in East Londonderry 2012-15
| Level | 2012/13 | 2013/14 | 2014/15 | Totals |
| Local Direct Investment | £126,814.00 | £98,364.00 | £86,834.00 | £312,012.00 |
| Trust Capitation Share Investment | £212,713.00 | £197,821.00 | £205,305.00 | £615,839.00 |
| Total | £339,527.00 | £296,185.00 | £292,139.00 | £927,851.00 |
These figures do not include wider investment in health and social care services, eg screening, immunisations and child health services which will also support public health, nor in regionally available programmes.
